Terrific Tuesday (aka corny title)

Hey!  Today was a fun day for me.  I headed down to the CPC for the morning and, as usual, had a great time.  My shift was from 9 to 1....no clients today, but there were plenty of other projects to work on.  Tons of followup work (I closed probably eight cases today!), shredding of old expired cases, and the creation of new pregnancy info packets that we give out to our positive-test clients. 

So you all probably know by now that I truly do love scarves....right?  Right?  I think I've mentioned it a few times :-).  Anyway, my friend Kayla from church crocheted this one for my birthday recently.  Isn't it simply gorgeous?  She is so good at making these kinds of things.  I'm thinking I'll be seeing a new business emerging soon in the yarn aisle of Jo-Ann's...Kayla's Proffesional Looking and Amazingly Detailed Products, Inc.   :-) 

It was gorgeous today - yes, it's almost summer, but the weather is absolutely breathtaking.  Like, low 80's (if even that?), cloudy skies but still sunny (does that make sense?), and just generally windows-open-kind-of-weather.  I sleep with my window open, and no joke, the chirping birds wake me up every morning around five.  I get to jog at 5:30 listening to my favorite songs on my ipod and watch an amazing sunrise. I love it!

 So Josh is the ever-present echo and constant copy-cat around here.  When Isaac says he's hungry, Joshua is right behind him saying the same thing.  Today Isaac told me he was stuffed, and low and behold, a little voice pipes up "I'm stuffed too!".  Anything that Isaac is, Josh feels he MUST be, or his little emotional ocean breaks forth and he crumples. :-)

Anyway....after the CPC, I came home and had lunch, and then ran some glamorous errands that included a trip to Ace Hardware purchasing a new p-trap for my bathroom sink and a hair-catcher for my shower drain.  A hint?  I've been having some...uh....trouble with clogged drains due to....well, you know....hair. Don't tell me I'm the only girl who plugs up sink drains on a regular basis. Up until a few weeks ago I was standing in four inches of water during my shower it was so backed up.  Yeah.  I'm....working on that one.  :-)

Isaac is our completely original clown.  Upon getting into the pool for the first time this summer, he looked up at me, completely serious, and said, "Hey Rachel, baptize me!"  Maybe we've been watching too many John the Baptist movies or something?  Anyway, now he thinks it's a hilarious joke, and baptism is always discussed at the pool in some form.  They also think communion is hilarious.  Um, kind of not good??!!!  Seems like I'm always trying to get them to stop re-inacting the Last Supper with giggles and sarcasm in the living room.  Example?  "Hey look!  Take and eat, this is my bod-ee! Ha ha!"  Yeah.  We're...working on that one, too.

Some of you probably heard about our juicing fast from my mom's blog.  I am back on food now (thank heavens) but I'm still juicing on the side.  And generally, I'm now wanting to really eat healthier.  I even skipped cupcakes on David's birthday.  Don't know how I did that one?!  But remember I said generally I'm being healthy.  So....if you find me with a Starbucks or something similarly poisonous, well - it must be a special occasion or something. :-)

Have a great week!
